My husband and I loved this boat ride. It was so much fun and the owner and his family were so nice. I would recommend everyone go on this boat ride if you visit Pictured Rocks!

This was such a fun boat tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and had a true love of the UP. It was fun, thrilling and informative. We have the best time on this tour and would definitely do it again!

I booked this excursion as an afterthought since I saw the weather was going to be great on the day that we went. The entire experience was amazing! Our adventure guide, and I believe the owner of Riptide adventures, was interactive, knowledgeable and most important of all fun. My husband and I not only got to see breathtaking views of the islands in lake Superior and a few waterfalls, but also got to get a little wet with his fast maneuvers of the jet boat. We would recommend this to anyone that asked! Thank you again for an adventure!

What an amazing way to view Pictured Rocks! This was an exciting ride with spectacular views. We saw so many bald eagles and loved being so close to it all. The driver was so much fun and shared fun facts of what we saw and the local area. I preferred this over the slower tour options.

Riptide was a blast! A combination of nature’s beauty (up close and from afar) and a thrilling boat ride. We were prepared with ponchos on the boat and a change of socks and shoes in the car. The captain spotted eagles for the passengers and skillfully took the boat in and out of rock formations. If you like adventure this ride is worth it.

This was the 2nd time I’ve went on RipTide ride. It was just as amazing as the first go round. The captain is informative and makes it so fun! We saw 5 different eagles along the way, which was really cool. Highly recommend!

We were touring the Upper Peninsula for the first time. We were specifically interested in seeing Pictured Rocks. Multiple cruises are offered in the Munising area, and this one looked like fun. Part of the trip is as much a thrill ride as it is a sightseeing opportunity. It really amounts to a high speed boat ride out to Grand Isle, and the an opportunity to get really close to the shoreline and see the beautiful colors, rock formations, and caves up close. The Captain/Tour Guide was really knowledgeable about the geology and history of the bay and made the trip interesting. When the rock and roll starts to play on the boat, hold on and be prepared to get wet! Even as senior citizens, we had lots of fun.

This is a great place to go if you're looking for a tour of the area around Grand Island, but you're also looking for a thrill during your trip. When I went to Munising for a couple days, I made sure I went here, since I always go here when I get to. Music is great, driver is nice; all around, it was delightful.
